No specific antidote.  Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media:

Water fog or fine spray.  Dry chemical fire extinguishers.  Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.  Foam.  General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF type) or protein foams are preferred if available.  Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) may function.  

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Hazardous Combustion Products: Under fire conditions some components of this product may decompose. The smoke may contain unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds.  Combustion products may include and are not limited to:  Nitrogen oxides.  Carbon monoxide.  Carbon dioxide.  

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product may produce flash fire, but will not continue to burn. If exposed to intense heat, water in the product may evaporate, leaving a residue.  Residue can burn.  

Advice for firefighters:

Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away.  Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry.  Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed.  Eliminate ignition sources.  To extinguish combustible residues of this product use water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.  

Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves).  If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place.  Keep container tightly closed when not in use.  Storage tanks should be blanketed with nitrogen.  Product may become a solid at temperatures below  -5°C (23°F)  Minimize sources of ignition, such as static build-up, heat, spark or flame.  Do not store in:  Aluminum.
